I’ve conquered The Forgotten Ruins!

Monday, August 17th, 2009

I’m probably too sleepy to put together a coherent blog entry, but I just wanted to celebrate the fact that I’ve completed a Nintendo DS game. It’s rare for me to finish video/computer games. Last one was probably Around the World in 80 Days, a PC game that seemed impossible for a few levels, and that was around a year ago.

I just don’t spend that much time playing video and computer games, partly because most don’t hold my interest long enough, for various reasons. An obvious one is that if I perceive the game to be too difficult for my newbie skills, I don’t rise to the challenge and get better, I just stop playing. Another is that there aren’t many games I know about that are “my type” – puzzle rather than action/quest/simulation.

Anyway… I’ll let you get back to your own video games, and I’ll happily do a solo jig to honour my outstanding achievement. ;)

New blog added!

I sometimes forget where and when I met all of my writer friends. (Not only a result of a random memory that loves to store movie quotes and plotlines and yet often fails in everyday usage for more important topics, but also because it feels like we’ve always known each other. I like to think that second reason is a good sign. LOL)

Back to my point… I’m certain that Mir is part of the group of talented writers who regularly checked out Dave Long’s Faith in Fiction blog a few years ago. Dave also had a message board set up for us talkative lot.

I rediscovered Mir’s blog today after finding out that a real-life friend designed her page. Very cool!

Mir’s now part of my Links page that you can access from the sidebar on the right of this page. Glad to have found you again, Mir!
